THE CITY ENGINEER , Ur. Andrew Iloiowatrr on the Con duct of Public Works Inter- Statements , Editor BootfflTho adage "that a Ho will travel seven leagues while the trnth is patting its hoots on" is illustrated od by recent press communications and comments concornlng the municipal work in this city. I propose to demonstrate In a few brief outlines of the public nfihirs of Omaha that however alow the truth may bo in reaching the surface , it nev er fails In the long run to overtake false hood. Four years ao I accepted tbo unsol icited appointment of city engineer of Omaha by Mayor Boyd. There was no board of public works in existence. The city had comparatively no Improvomento of a permanent character. When I took charge there was no ono to personally explain - plain any of the affairs of the ollico. Ihero was not an attnchoc , asaiitant , redman or axeman in the office. In the iaca of this , within loss than eix months ; ho department was placed in a thorough * y running order , and Improvements were going on in every direction. In loss than mo year a system of aowcrago was adop ted , under headway and over four miles .n actual operation. Slnco then coven- ; eon more miles of sewer have boon built , over eight miles of streets and alloys paved , twenty miles of street graded and lalf as many miles curbed and guttered , covering In cost an oxponditnro of about § 2OUOUOOO. Few cities of double the population have done as much in BO thort i period , and I defy any ono to name a city that , taken all In all , can ahow better work for the same money. The cost of engineering this work will 'all short of 2 per cent 5 per cent less ; han similar work has cost St. Paul , and Li per cent Iocs than Kansas City. All ; his was done in the face of now laws with countless embarrassing obstacles ivithont legal precedents or decisions as ; o courao of procedure In many cases , with opposition to every regulation , and n the faceof prejudices founded upon gnorancp. The firat two years I worked n my office almost Incessantly from early n the morning till 11 o'clock at night. I not council committees nearly every Sunday until my health broke down and I wai urged to Increase my force aud re duce my own hours of labor. In undertaking BO much at ono time ho competition among contractors naturally developed combination against combination , hate against hate , lies oraiia HOJ , and cries of fraud versus raud. The extraordinary amount of work or- lercd last year and carried out , aggregat- ng in cost to nearly a million dollars , and executed in less than eiz months has culminated In largo special taxes. These axes cimo duo at about the same period , when owing to sudden financial depres sions and failures all over the country md uncertainties due to national change II administration made money scarce and lard to obtain. As a result the natural ind Interested opposition to taxes and approvements at any tlmo by a certain class has temporarily obtained favor with ho credulous public and every lifo and ubtorfngo for power or for prostlgo has > eon resorted to to intensify this fooling. And now lot mo allude to a few of the many lies. SEWERAGE. It has been asserted on the street cor- icr and commended on with emphasis by -ho Republican that great frauds in esti mates and work have been committed in sewerage construction. An ex-member of the board of public works informed the lorald editor that 100 per cent was made > y some sewer contractor last year on a 50,000 contract and other statements of a simitar natnro have been spread for a lurposo by the same man and others. To nako those stories plausible , ono gentle man , an insurance agent , on Thirteenth street , has gone among property owners on St. Mary's avenue and connecting streets with this story to taxpayers : You "isvo fifty feet front. An 8-Inch pipe is laid in front of your door. Now yon enow the coat of an 8-inch plpo under the contract is ahont a dollar a foot and ; hat divided in two for the lot opposite makes It cost only SO cents. Now the tax Is § 3 a foot a fraud § 2.50. This is divided between ; ho engineer and contractor. Now what are the facts' ? St. Mary'a avenue is a sewer district which comprises the main street and side streets. The ontlro cost o sowera in that district is computed. This ncludes the largo and the small pipoa , .ho catch basins and tholr connections , ; ho man-holes , flush tanks and all the Ton casting ! , in fact , every part and ap- [ ) urtenauco of the district sewer system The taxable fronts go is thpn computed and tbo rate per foot is estimated. The records of every sewer and Its appurtenances ances are kept in detail In the engineer's office' open for inspection and 1 defy any man to coma and show up any frauds. Now , as to the prices , they are all at so much a foot , or pound for iron aud any man can compute for himself. The work waa let to the lowest bidder iutho face of lively competition. On St. Mary's avenue the first bids wororeferrod to me and I reported they were high and should bo readvertisrd. This was done and 25 per cent s&vod by the operation. Now as to their efficacy out of the twentyonemiles wo hava had troublp in but onu alloy branch in the put six months and that was caused by tbo injection of a sixteen foot Iron rod with suckers Into a six inch plpo. The fact that but ono man has managed for nearly a year with occasionally two labor ers to help him to keep the ontlro twen ty-one miles in order , is the beet answer to all critlc'sms ' on that score , and as to any prilits on the alleged § 50,000 con tract the fact that the largot never con tract in the city waa 628,000 shows how thoroughly groundless it if , Now as to tiu.vmxa. Very llltlo has been caid in the prots , but much underhanded faUificatlon has been resorted to in that respect. Fint , it has been alleged that the extraordinary amount of grading done was duo to the miscalculations' of tbo city engineer , I pronounce this as not only false , hut on the oonlrtry I prct'stit both with tbo council and board of pnb- llo works agains : it on the very grounds th t If carried out it would exceed rea sonable figure ? . At that time I was an tagonized by the botrd of public works in a paving discussion , and the contracts were purpoeoly drawn shearing thq en gineer of every panicle of authority it the promises , a > tbo contracts on record will show , and I ceaied ray opposition on the urgent request of Dr. Milerand others , who thought it would look per sonal and malicious on my part to con- tlnuo It. Thoio contratti being Jo1 , It tvis my duty to execute them , Aiide from the reports cltad , statements are being confidentially circulated trut there w&a fraud in estimates and that I , or men in my oBcohavo ( accepted bribes for mak ing them. New I propose to moot those and all other allegations by demanding of the judge of the district court to instruct the next grand jury to investigate this and every charge of like nature nnd reach these libels , Under the now law any party paying a bribe is free from prosecu tion so that there will bo no FXCUIO or opportunity ior any man to escape from tolling the trnth and the whole trnth Ono more subject and I will close. It Is alleged ttiat the engineer rotnrnod esti mates of extra grading In connection with asphalt paving and surreptitiously put such amounts into the levies for the pur pose of defrauding the city. Although 1 thoroughly ventilated this subject at sev eral public meetings of the council I will hero , repeat that I never sent any re ports with estimates , of that or any other natnro to the city council touching contract work hat reported through the beard of public works as the law pro vides. It was customary to lot the city council settle all claims for extra work and so in the particular caco cited. I corliGcd to a voucher that was presented mo by a councilman , covering the cor rectness of the amounts of the extra work and computation as per bill presented , and differing as I did as to the authority to collect by levy such allowances , only put it into the levy by direction of that councilman. That there could bo no misunderstanding on that point I , filed a paper and kept a copy , in the city clerk's office totting forth the fact with details } f extras added to each levy. Those lovys were passed , aud hone ? , when Howard street levy was made , I added the extra grading into it , keeping a re cord cf the amount This nas iono without special directions , and I so informed the city council during the dis- osalona that ensued. This ontlro subject was afterwards rc- fnrrod for a legal opinion to the city at torney , and npm his advice that if the extra work waa ordered in writing by the : ity onginosr it could bo paid ; the Bar ber Asphalt Paving company , through its ropresenta'ivos , called upon mo for such written orders. I declined io furnish any , as I had never issued such orders , and It is for this reason that the money , though levied , still lies in the treasury unpaid. There is doubtless some merit to those claims if the contractors did not know the streets Iu question were not to grade : however , that is not for mo to dp- : id o. In conclusion , who are the men that are circulating those reports of fraud In my department ? Men who have boon thwarted time and again in schemes to beat the city out of trumped up claims , or contractors who have failed to got more than was duo them , and tax shirk ers who have tought special favors which , as an official , I have refused to grant. To all of those I say that they will bo given an opportunity to verify their charges , as they aw all known to mu , and will bo compelled to testify or bo branded as ; hey deserve. ANDREW ROSEWATER. ANALYZING THE BAKING POWDER , "Royal" the Only Absolutely Pnro Baking Powder Made A ctlon of the New York State Board of Health. Under the direction of the Now Yoik state board o ! health , eighty-four differ ent kinds of baking powders , embracing all the brands that could ba found for sale la the state , wcrjaubmittod to exam ination and analysis by Prof. 0. F. CHANDLER , a member of the state board , and president of the Now York City board cf health , assisted by Prof. EDWARD G. LOVE , the well-known late United States rovernment chemtat. The official report shows that a largo lumber of the powder * examined were iound to contain alum cr lime ; many of ; hem to such an extent as to render them seriously objectionable for uao in the pre paration of human food. Alum was found in twenty-nine sam ples. This drug Is employed In baking powders to cheapen their co&t. The presence of llruo Is attributed to the Im pure cream of tartar of commerce used in their manufacture. Such cream of tar tar was also analyzed and fonnd to con- bain lime and other Impurities , In some samples to the extent of 93 per cent of their entire weight. All the baking powders of the market , with the single exception of "Eojal" ot including the alum and phoepliata powders , which wore long since du- caided as unsafe or inefficient by pradout housekeepers ) are made from the impure cream of tartar of commerce , and consequently quently contain lime to a corresponding extent. The only baking ponder yet fonnd by chemical analysis to bo entirely free from lime and abiolutoly pure is the "Royal. " ThU perfect purity results from the oxclu- 0 uao of cream of tartar specially refined - fined and prepared by patent pro cesses of the N. Y. Tartar Co. , which totally romero the taitrato of lime and other impurities. The coat of this chem ically pure cream of tartar is much great er than any other , and on account of this cost Is used in no biking powder but the "Royal. " Prof. LOVK , who made the analyses of baking powders for the Now York State Board of Health , as well as for the Gov ernment , eays of the purity and whole- Bomenoss of ' "Royal" : "I have teited a package of 'Royal Biking Powder' which I purchased In the open market , and find it competed ofpuroaud wholesjmo Ingredients. It Is a cream of tartar powder of a high de- grao of merit , and does not contain either alum or phoiphates or any Injuri ous substances. "E. G. LOVE.Ph.D. " Public speakers and singers find B. H.
